Every contracting experience is made up of two components. The actual technical part of the job, and the service or psychological part of the experience.

Managing people has always been and will remain a challenge.

I recently completed 40 years of consulting and I thought it would be fun to share some of the bizarre things I have encountered.

The contracting business is an ever-churning whirlpool of short term crisis and deadlines.

Over the past 10 years, I’ve written a lot about the many free mobile apps and calculators available to help roofing contractors sell the benefits of energy-efficient, long-lasting roofs.

No roofing contractor or any other construction worker goes to the jobsite on a given day and expects to die — but the harsh truth is that people do.

While communication has changed, roofing is still a business of estimating/selling and installing work.

Year after year of the same old, same old can lead to frustration and eventually burning out.

Business can be stimulating and somewhat addictive.

The years have flown by and while not famous, I've accumulated some "contractorisms" that I believe have an eternal shelf life.
